Gravitational Radiation Generated by Cosmological Phase Transition Magnetic Fields
read the original abstract
We study gravitational waves generated by the cosmological magnetic fields induced via bubble collisions during the electroweak (EW) and QCD phase transitions. The magnetic field generation mechanisms considered here are based on the use of the fundamental EW minimal supersymmetric (MSSM) and QCD Lagrangians. The gravitational waves spectrum is computed using a magnetohydrodynamic (MHD) turbulence model. We find that gravitational wave spectrum amplitude generated by the EW phase transition peaks at frequency approximately 1-2 mHz, and is of the order of $10^{-20}-10^{-21}$; thus this signal is possibly detectable by Laser Interferometer Space Antenna (LISA). The gravitational waves generated during the QCD phase transition, however, are outside the LISA sensitivity bands.

CP-violating multi-field phase transitions and gravitational waves in a hidden NJL sector
Multi-field CP-violating phase transitions in a hidden NJL sector produce undetectable stochastic gravitational waves but remain cosmologically viable due to prompt domain wall collapse.

CP-violating multi-field phase transitions and gravitational waves in a hidden NJL sector
Multi-field tunneling analysis in a CP-violating NJL model yields a slow transition (β/H ~ 100) whose stochastic gravitational-wave signal is detectable by μAres and insensitive to the CP angle.

Numerical simulations of density perturbation and gravitational wave production from cosmological first-order phase transition
3D simulations of cosmological first-order phase transitions find density perturbation spectra with k^3 and k^{-1.5} slopes and GW spectra with k^3 and k^{-2}, confirming slow transitions can produce PBHs.
